A direct clash between the families of two influential strongmen leaders in Mokama- Bihar Election 2025 ||

The Janata Dal (United) (JDU) and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) are facing off in the Mokama seat in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. This contest has become highly controversial due to the battle for supremacy between powerful politicians.

Political Contest: This contest in the Mokama seat is attracting attention not only from Bihar but across the country. This election is being seen as a direct contest between the families of two influential strongmen leaders in Mokama.

Clash of Strongmen:

Former Mokama MLA Anant Singh, known by his supporters as "Chhote Sarkar," is contesting on a JDU ticket in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. To defeat him, Veena Devi has entered the fray from the RJD. The RJD has fielded Veena Devi, the wife of former strongman MP Suraj Bhan Singh.

Mokama politics has long been influenced by strongmen and power. This time, the contest is resurfacing the old rivalry between Anant Singh and Suraj Bhan Singh.

Key Election Issues:

Promises of development versus muscle power are being seen. However, local issues include unemployment, migration, and the problem of waterlogging in the Tal region. Despite promises of development on these issues, the influence of muscle power remains a decisive factor.

Caste Equations: Election analysts are also watching to see how the influence of caste equations in the assembly constituency will change in this election, or whether muscle power will prevail.

Context of the 2022 Election:

Anant Singh's wife, Neelam Devi, won the 2022 by-election on an RJD ticket. However, the circumstances have changed for the 2025 election, and this time Anant Singh is the JDU candidate, while the RJD has fielded Veena Devi from his rival's family.

Nomination and Campaigning:

JDU candidate Anant Singh filed his nomination with a large number of supporters. Meanwhile, RJD candidate Veena Devi also filed her nomination with a large number of supporters.

JDU Candidate Anant Singh:

Criminal Cases: In October 2025, Anant Singh filed his nomination as the Janata Dal (United) (JDU) candidate from the Mokama constituency for the Bihar Assembly elections. He declared 28 criminal cases against him in his election affidavit. In January 2025, Anant Singh surrendered to the court following the Sonu-Monu shooting incident and was sent to judicial custody.

In July 2025, he received relief from the court in another case, the Raghunath Singh shooting case. In October 2025, Anant Singh also surrendered to the court and obtained bail in a cybercrime case.

Anant Singh and the 147 Cases: Former MLA Anant Singh was released from jail in August 2025 after being granted bail by the Patna High Court in the Sonu-Monu shooting case. This case, also known as Panchmahal Police Station Case No. 5/2025, involved a shootout between Anant Singh and the Sonu-Monu gang. 147 cases related to this incident and involving Anant Singh emerged. In August 2024, the Patna High Court acquitted him in the AK-47 case.

RJD Candidate Veena Devi:
